If you have ever wanted to try fly fishing or sharpen your casting technique, the
GAC 2025 Autumn Open Weekend is the perfect opportunity. Across the
three-day event, we are offering free fly casting lessons with none other
than Guideline’s SGAIC Instructor John Milne. Whether you are a complete
beginner or looking to fine-tune your cast, this is your chance to learn from one of
Scotland’s most respected instructors.
Why Take a Casting Lesson?
Fly casting is an art as much as a skill. Every angler starts as a novice, and even the
most experienced casters benefit from a little expert guidance. Learning how to handle
a fly rod correctly makes your fishing more enjoyable, efficient, and rewarding.
That is where qualified instructors like John Milne make all the difference.
With years of teaching and guiding experience, John knows how to make casting approachable
and enjoyable, offering tips that will stay with you for life.
